Sara Kendrick Poet Triolet

Fertilized

. 
He fertilized the garden and the pears         A__Zeugma
A gardening husband who plants seeds and love      B__Zeugma
Carrots, potatoes, and beans grow with care       a
He fertilized the garden and the pears         A__Zeugma
A gentleman who is now a find so rare         a
Tenderly he watches the Mourning Dove       b
He fertilized the garden and the pears         A__Zeugma
A gardening husband who plants seeds and love        B__Zeugma  

This is not the greatest example but I know you will do better..
Pentameter_English Version 5 meterical feet..I don't do meter very well
It can be done in 8 syllables per line as well which is the most common way
but it might be hard to do the Zeugma

Andrea Dietrich August 9, 2014 at 9:11 PM oh, so you are giving us the option of pentameter or the normal way with 8 syllables. That is nice. I can see how the B is zeugma but not the A. Anyway, I enjoy your example and I hope I can come up with something! I WILL, just give me time. ahha

M. L. Kiser August 8, 2014 at 3:32 PM It's still a great piece and I did enjoy it.

Dr.Ram Mehta August 8, 2014 at 6:30 AM Yes, sara, same is case with me. I can't do meter so well, but nice analogical expressions.
